Ionic Breeze review

 
 

ACNielsen — the world's leading market research company — recently conducted a nationwide survey for owners of room air purifiers and found that the Sharper Image’s Ionic Breeze was the most trusted brand. The same survey also found that the Ionic Breeze offers the best value for money.

So what is it about the Ionic Breeze that makes it so popular?

There are several reasons, but lets first see how the basic version of the Ionic Breeze operates.

The Ionic Breeze is a so called electrostatic precipitator type air purifier.
Contaminated air from the room is drawn in through the vents at the back of the unit. As the particles enter, they are electrically charged and are attracted to the oppositely charged collection blades inside. These charged particles will stick to the blades until wiped off by the user.

No expensive filters
The Ionic Breeze therefore has no expensive HEPA filters that need to be replaced. These filters can easily cost $60 or more, and may need to be replaced as frequently as once a year.

Silent operation
Normal electrostatic precipitators use fans to move the air, but the Ionic Breeze uses a proprietary technology that works by using electrostatic forces to move air molecules and is totally silent. Other purifiers, especially those that use HEPA filters, can be very noisy.

Low electricity requirement
The Ionic Breeze has no moving parts and therefore requires minimal energy to run – depending on the model – either 28 or 10 watts.
This also makes it economical to run the unit continuously, which is recommended, because indoor air pollution rapidly returns to the old levels when an air purifier is turned off.

Removes a broad range of pollutants
The basic model, the Ionic Breeze Quadra can capture pollutants larger than one micron: larger bacteria, mold spores, pollen, dust, cat dander and other allergens.

The more expensive model, the Ionic Breeze GP, includes a germicidal UV lamp, which eliminates viruses, bacteria and other micro organisms.

Both models generate trace amounts of ozone which is well known for it’s ability to remove smoke and odors.

The unit can clean a 500 square feet area, about the size of one large room or two smaller rooms.

Elegant styling
The Ionic Breeze is available in several colors: silver onyx, light gray, black satin, and burltech.

All in all, the Ionic Breeze has many things to recommend itself. At around $350 it outclasses many air purifiers in the same price range.
